Agree with Mommar... reissuing the DYRL valks without any corresponding super/strike parts reissue doesn't make much sense.

Haha... that was actually my pre-order for the YF-29. I just dropped it last night. Decided I'd prefer to wait for an opportunity to pick up a VF-25S instead...

This has kinda been my feeling since the accessory parts were first announced... I love my 1/60's, but rebuying them for panels and seats? Meh... lol. However, I wouldn't put it pass some MW go-getter creating an "alternative" some day down the line. =)

Hip armor on mine are also pretty solid... took off the dab of earthquake putty I had on the inside, and they actually do click in place pretty well like Graham stated. If anything, the only time they seem to pop off is when the side "thigh" armor on the ball joint right next to the hip armor knocks them off. Otherwise, they hold pretty well. For some reason, the lower right side leg armor on mine seems to be the most prone to flopping off. As far as the missle hatches go... the hinge for the hatch rises up to allow for the hatch to clear easier, so as long as you don't push them back all the way down, they open and close smoothly and easily without popping off. I'm no reviewer, but those are my layman observations so far. =)

@Kicker - Do you buy multiples of the same toy for customization projects or...? Because just from the looks of it, you probably could've easily swung those M3 payments just by selling your spares alone! lol... love the room setup. =)

Been going nuts with earthquake putty lately for action figure posing, so I thought I'd try a tiny bit on the inside of the intake/hip armor to keep it on better... voila, problem solved. Not the most elegant solution, but it doesn't affect the paint on the armor or the toy at all, isn't permanent, comes off clean when you're done with it, you can't see it, and keeps me from getting pissed off when handling the toy like I do whenever I touch my 1/48 super stealth valk... I swear I'd throw that thing through a window if it didn't cost so much because of all the stuff that falls off during handling.

Nippon Yasan FTW... ordered my Alto super parts 5/3 (6000 yen), showed up this morning 5/7. Also pre-ordered my Alto Armored parts through them; they're on point! No nonsense, super fast shipping and great prices.
